188w ago - Following up on his previous updates, today PlayStation 3 developer deank released another update to the PS3 backup manager bringing it to multiMAN version 02.04.00 (20110824-152900) which now allows write access to dev_flash via dev_blind.

It means that you can enable write access to /dev_flash (using /dev_blind mount point) and manipulate its contents via FTP or File Manager mode. I used it to replace the .sprx files to disable Cinavia Protection (works!).

Files must be replaced in /dev_blind/vsh/module/ using either FTP or file manager mode in multiMAN. Actually it is quite easy to create a small standalone installer to do that, I wonder why no one did it.

Added: Return to multiMAN when using the EXIT icon in to top right corner of main Showtime Interface

Since version 02.05.00 of multiMAN you can update your SHOWTIME within multiMAN, by going to XMMB Video tab -> Press [TRIANGLE] while "Start Showtime" is selected -> Update.

You can also update your showtime.self by deleting it from multiMAN's USRDIR folder and play a video - you'll be prompted to download the updated version. Be advised that in multiMAN versions 04.00.00+ SHOWTIME.SELF is located under USRDIR/sys folder.

It as been at least 6 months since I played my PS3 and I'm not entirely sure what I have missed to allow games to be played. I run the LV2 Patcher v9 before I run Multiman, but games such as Uncharted: Drake's Fortune does not seem to work even though I had luck doing it before. Am I missing something like an update or pkg file that I need to install?
